mircea_popescu: this is scarce consolation to the poor schmucks sent to die in the trenches, of course, but we're here discussing the larger problem
ben_vulpes: perhaps i misspeak when i say "superiority" rather than pointing at the value in denying others ownership of a space.
ben_vulpes: "fly your jet through here, i dare you." type of approach.
mircea_popescu: yeah. this of course only works to "me too" monkeys.
mircea_popescu: note that the chinese very smartly did not do what the usians expected them to do in the 70s/80s (an exact rehash of the 60s/70s russian idiocy of trying to copy them and lose at it, Мы вас похороним! and all that,
mircea_popescu: instead of making 25 atomic carriers to the us' dozen, they just made small cheap rockets)
mircea_popescu: thus, they're not bankrupt, and will in fact bury the us.
ben_vulpes: if i can do nothing on my own, i can learn from those who do understand strategy.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason for the yawning geopoliticomilitary chasm centering around pekin, and that cause is that the top brass of the us centcom failed to guess cca 1980.

mircea_popescu: "The other model Hariezer lays out is that magic lies on a single recessive gene. He reasons squibs have one dominant, non-magical version, and one recessive magical version of the gene. So of kids born to squibs, 1/4 will be wizards. In this version, you either have magic or you don’t, so if wizards married the non-magical, wizards themselves could become more rare, but the power of wizards won’t be diluted. C
mircea_popescu: all this model 2."
mircea_popescu: motherfucker. i am so sick and tired of this cloying tiresome pedestrian understanding of genetics.
mircea_popescu: the single alele pair model is in the books because fucking peas exhibit it, and because it's easy to teach to biologists, who are people who are bad at basic arithmetics.
thestringpuller: what were those square things called again?
mircea_popescu: irl, most loci have MULTIPLE aleles.
thestringpuller: putin squares?
mircea_popescu: there's places with 30+ genes, of which multiple are dominant.
mircea_popescu: if the gene for being a total fucktard has genes A through P and a through w, where upcase ones are dominant, it may be the case that the AD kid is the geniusest of them all and the BG kid is the total fucking retardest of the lot, way behind ww or ft or whatever the fuck other recessive combo

mircea_popescu: and it is unlikely but technically possible that you actually require a TRISOMY to get the topmost performance.
mircea_popescu: which may put it in the billions to one odds of happening, which means that we know enough about genetics since the genome has been sequenced to make judgements about on par with the quality of the pseudoscience that gave us "global warming" and "carbon"
mircea_popescu: (trisomy is usually a copy of one or the other gene, but it doesn't actually have to be - it could be a mix of them, which ~could~ be a legitimate new gene, if mindbogglingly improbable)
mircea_popescu: (conversely, it's usually the case that you do require a trisomy or other polysomy to get the actual worst performance available - kids with such genetic defects are almost universally retarded and sterile)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why doesn't it really work again ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller nice one.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if asking about the 'second kbd controller as jammer' - the small physical differences (esp. in the quartz oscillator) add up to a distinguishable 'fingerprint' which lets enemy pull a particular kbd signal out of a room full of'em
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if about hypothetical purpose-built jammer - keyboard scan matrix in particular is a moving target, as the frequency of the telltale signal will vary considerably depending on which key(s) are pressed
mircea_popescu: i was simply thinking a 2nd kbd with a rng tied to it closing circuits.
asciilifeform: that was my thought
mircea_popescu: but re-reading, you actually mean the mechanical keyboard pressing is the source
asciilifeform: the closing of the matrix circuits
mircea_popescu: well...maybe ?
chetty: so wrap you kbd in a faraday cage?
asciilifeform: (and it is also interesting to think about what actually happens on the mechanical contacts. 'key bounce' is not only an annoyance for engineers, but a gift to radiodiddlers, as each spring - and rubber domes not excepted - has characteristic wear)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was thinking btw, faraday cage is essentially a passive radiator element. what if made active ?
mircea_popescu: make a sort of cyclotron in your living room, all electrons end up on the plate.
chetty: ouch, worse than having a fan run while you sleep
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let's forget optical fibres for a second and consider this : on a standard keyboard, making a spoke portrude from each key so that from a width-long perspective each spoke is separated by any other is trivial mechanically. lighting one width and sticking a camera on the other width then resolves the problem,
mircea_popescu: you now have optical keypress
mircea_popescu: chetty i guess so does all your dust plus the cats, huh
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: faraday cage is not (if correctly constructed) a radiating element at all
mircea_popescu: hence passive. it is still a radiator in my theoretical view of things, because it COULD
mircea_popescu: anyway, make mesh of two wires, so that on each hole you have at least one spot of wire at - potential and one spot at + potential. then the size of the hole and the intensity of the emission tell you how much potential you need in the cage.
mircea_popescu: for an arbitrary % of electron escape
mircea_popescu: particle.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: spoke portrude from each key << manual typewriter. invitation for acoustic snoopery. (and camera - radiates.)
chetty: dont forget the tin hat
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the spoke doesn't touch anything
mircea_popescu: just goes down a quarter inch or w/e,. into the air.

mircea_popescu: "hey, that's exactly what should NOT be a value of yours, core or no core"
mircea_popescu: an university is by definition dedicated to exclusiveness.
mircea_popescu: it exists so as to exclude the scum so people who can think can do so, and young people who could one day think can come there to be away from their idiot families, small towns and government.
mircea_popescu: and as a side note, that's how probation came to be : originally clerics (ie, university students y compris) could claim eclesiastic jurisdiction before they lay court, and be taken before their rector to be judged there.

BingoBoingo: So, once you finalize a thing in their webapp you gotta sit on the page for a couple hours just to make sure the cache is sync'd or...
mircea_popescu: well hopefully they fixed it.
mircea_popescu: so let me ask you this composite question :
mircea_popescu: if the world was working as it did before computers, ascii would have been one of the few people with pen and paper, and wrote a description to one of the few people who made what he needed, and by virtue of that fewness they'd have actually been friends. the letter took a week to get there, the work took a week to be done, and so a month later alf has his peas or w/e he's needing for alchemy.
mircea_popescu: as the work works now, software makes everything much easier and faster. errors especially.
mircea_popescu: as a result... a month later alf does not have his peas.
mircea_popescu: please to progress on the dotted line.

mircea_popescu: "it takes us a second to do things that took a lifetime before - and they come with the guarantee of being something else entirely!"
mircea_popescu: it's easy, and fun.
asciilifeform: but if playing that gedanken-game fairly, possibly the 'progress' is in my being able to get things at all without serious moneys
mircea_popescu: depends how marginal you are.
asciilifeform is pretty marginal
mircea_popescu: if you're in the 1% that did then as it does now, the fact that there's a further aspirational 19% added to the pot does not help you
mircea_popescu: hopefully does also not hinder you, although...
asciilifeform: probably hanging from somewhere in that 19th, like that schmuck swinging from the last chopper out of saigon
mircea_popescu: how would we find this out ?

mircea_popescu: sort-of like the stair of no return, once you left you can't walk back
asciilifeform: see, if i were the kind of fella who has money, would not have been having any of the problem described in this tale. would have either seen the boards made within a week (actual business relationship with factory, sleep ad libitum and fly in to supervise in person with own eyes) or would have a legit conveyor with requisite machinery in-house, and same
mircea_popescu: it's not a simple matter of money, as money's not invariant over the cases we discuss.
asciilifeform: 'money' in the allocator sense (see old mircea_popescu thread about subsistence vs capital-allocator)
asciilifeform: or the 'percent of pie' sense discussed in possibly same thread
mircea_popescu: but you don't need that. you merely need to be deemed by a major capital allocator worthy of the allocation.
mircea_popescu: the us congress does not particularly think loyd austin of the army is very smart,
mircea_popescu: nor are the billions being spent his own personal pocket money he could buy icecream with otherwise.

asciilifeform: this is why i always say that victory is far, that 'we' are small and 'they' are - stupid, yes - but gigantic. the entire s.nsa ipo would not have bought a proper pick'n'placer, not even talking about real estate to house it in a place which i could economically get to, etc.
asciilifeform: and this was at 'peak btc-usd' to date
asciilifeform: deliberately using the goxbubble numbers
mircea_popescu: well yes.
mircea_popescu: so we are small and they are tinier still and the world's immense.
mircea_popescu: which... yeah.
asciilifeform: 'they', for instance, don't have to split attention between N day jobs
asciilifeform: or ask around, futile, whether a hosting co. or manufacturing house somewhere might agree to take a little btc business
mircea_popescu: right. they just win wars in afghanistan.
chetty: well if it was easy everybody would do it ;)
asciilifeform: 'they' make $maxint by sending cartloads of meat to get liquified in afghan, and the like

mircea_popescu: and don't wait for the boards to show up to put the 2nd job order in, either.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was thinking of doing this.
mircea_popescu: yeah. not enough $ at risk to be that cautious.
asciilifeform: mike_c: understand, i cannot blame this particular vendor for the overall pace of the work - only self. (in particular, i am not clever enough to escape from having a fairly intense day job)
mircea_popescu: yeah, you are a very very bad man.

asciilifeform: mike_c: aha
asciilifeform: mike_c: the other half of that thread was that i had serious doubts re: whether the service offered by mf inc. was actually economically possible as described, and ergo i might be a chump
mike_c: yeah. seems like it might be legit so far.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform corporate moneyz, what do you care.

decimation: asciilifeform: http://www.nsf.gov/news/special_reports/public_access/ < apparently usg will require some level of public access to usg-funded research papers
assbot: US NSF - News - Special Reports - Public Access to Results of NSF-funded Research ... ( http://bit.ly/1MLXN2s )
decimation: I'm sure that some kind of loophole will protect the existing publishing empires
asciilifeform: decimation: it's threatened to happen for more than a decade, yes
asciilifeform: but even the linked item contains 'Be available for download, reading and analysis free of charge no later than 12 months after initial publication'
asciilifeform: which is a mega-laugh
decimation: yeah, and even then I expect all of those words don't mean what you think they mean
asciilifeform: but even if it were true - still a joke. picture, full year's embargo.
decimation: well, no problem for a hobbyist
decimation: certainly a problem if one wishes to 'compete' for bezzlars
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 113604 @ 0.00029325 = 33.3144 BTC [-]
asciilifeform: the same folks who were paying the parasites (i will not call them publishers, they withhold only - performing not a single one of the traditional functions of a publishing house save the physical printing) - will continue to pay.
asciilifeform: decimation: depends what sort of hobbyist
